military chocolate

December 22, 2006

It was intended to be an emergency ration.
The idea was not to make it so good that the troops would be tempted to eat it before it was truly needed. Back in ‘37, a military chocolate bar had to, among other things, be able to take high temperatures without melting in a uniform pocket. Chocolatey goodness was not a priority, indeed, it was expected to taste not much better than a boiled potato.

May your chocolates always taste better than plain potatoes.
